The technology, named “Clyngas,” was developed by WtEnergy and substitutes fossil fuels with synthetic gas derived from waste and byproducts from other industries, substantially reducing the carbon footprint of cement operations. WtEnergy Advanced Solutions is a company in the portfolio of Cemex Ventures, Cemex’s venture capital and open innovation unit.
The Clyngas project has the potential to reduce over 400,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions over a decade at the Alicante plant. The committee responsible for awarding the grant lauded the project for its “strong innovation component, reliability, and the improvement it represents in the use of gasification technology.”
